You guys, who gives a flip about Brandi vs. Adrienne--seriously, I am so over the manufactured drama between those two. What I am still tuning into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for, however, is the real estate porn courtesy of Lisa Vanderpump's new house (and the utterly cartoonish fabulousness of Lisa herself). Nestled within her and Ken's cavernous den of opulence is the most baller closet we've seen since Mariah Carey's--last night's episode brought a close-up look of the killer space, and here are a few photos in case you missed it: What, like you don't have 10 Hermés bags and color-coded racks that are merchandised like a boutique? Anyone up for shopping in their own home? Lisa, apparently, who displays her jewelry on an island in the middle of her closet! It's because she can, you guys, and if I could, I would, too. Here's the wide view of the space. Yup, it's the same size as the Greenwich Village studio apartment I spent two years of my life living and working in. Oh, these old things? They're just my handbags...worth an entire college education! Were you guys losing it over Lisa's closet as much as I was read more

Is it just me, or did you find last night's GIRLS episode to be the most absurd slash marvelous thing Lena Dunham has ever created? The plot was ridiculous--"I need to take drugs for work," Hannah informed her friends when she finally scored a paid writing gig--which led to her and Elijah going on a coke binge at a club, which led to the series' hands-down most impressive feat of fashion since its inception (and that includes Jessa's feather number from last season's Bushwick loft party). Here's what Elijah picks out for her to wear to the club. He calls it "power clashing," and it's one of those intentionally ill-fitting/unflattering things costume designer Jenn Rogien told us about. It also kiiiiinda reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana's spring 2012 collection. Cut to Greenhouse in NYC, where Hannah's drug-fueled dance frenzy makes some dude's offer--some dude in a mesh tank top, I should add--of "wanna trade shirts?" sound like a seriously genius idea. "Are you kidding, are you a mind reader? Yes I wanna trade shirts!" The only thing better than seeing poor Hannah stumble around the city in this thing post-club is the range of reactions around her. "I usually read more

Mark your calendars, dolls! Mad Men officially returns on April 7 (9pm on AMC!), and with it, a parade of fashion worth losing your cool over. Check out some of the official promotional photos that were just released: Matthew Weiner, the show's creator, has been as tight-lipped as ever about the plot, so we're not sure what year it is, but judging by Pete's sideburns (sha-BOOM!), Megan's mini-bouffant, and Sally's ladylike gloves, we're guessing we're still squarely in the 60s. Oh, and how much glamour can Joan Holloway squeeze into one gown? Your answer is right here. I don't know about you gals, but I'm excited as all get out for the show's sixth season, and to see what everyone--but especially Megan (AKA the resident clotheshorse!)--will wear. How about you? Do these elegant black and white shots have you pumped for the season premiere? Discuss! Photos: AMC read more

You know what we'll really miss about Gossip Girl? The clothes, duh! Over six steamy seasons, costume designer Eric Daman did some pretty unforgettable things with fashion, making the show a kind of Clueless for the 2000s. Here's what we learned along the way. 1. Cultivate a signature style. Can you even look at a headband without thinking about Blair Waldorf? It was her sartorial trademark since season one, and it helped define who she was throughout the series--ladylike, well-mannered, and just sassy enough to keep up with Chuck. Yours doesn't have to be an accessory, but if you choose one thing and own it--think wild prints, the tomboy thing, or even omnipresent towering heels--your look will say so much more in an instant. 2. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Beyond those headbands, there was an incredible amount of visual icing-on-the-cake going on during every episode: Quirky hats, oodles of jewelry, textured tights, and thoughtfully-placed scarves all upped the fashion ante. It's also your best bet for updating your own wardrobe without breaking the bank. 3. There's nothing sexier than a well-dressed man. Yes, Chuck Bass is a royal @$$%*l& most of the time, but we still found ourselves falling for him read more

I'm officially obsessed with The Mindy Project (I discovered it a few weeks late and watched every episode on demand in one lazy afternoon), and the more of it I see, the more I fall in love with Dr. Lahiri's wardrobe.

If Hollywood decides Carine Roitfeld's life is rife for a sitcom, things will have officially gotten out of hand: Hot on the heels of yesterday's announcement that Tyra Banks is creating a scripted series for ABC, based on her childhood, comes the news that Rachel Zoe has a sitcom in the works for NBC, too. read more

You know that feeling of panic and guilt and stomach-dropping anxiety you get when you swipe your credit card for something with a triple-digit price tag when you know you shouldn't have but really, really wanted to?

Is there any image as evocative of the more-more-more 80s than Dynasty's Alexis Carrington posing in obnoxiously large jewelry, the size of which was upstaged only by her shoulder pads?
